00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>This is a podcast from WOOR The Jesse Kelly Show.

2
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:13.679
<v Speaker 1>Let's have some fun on a Monday, and it's going

3
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:17.679
<v Speaker 1>to be a huge show, a huge week for you

4
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:22.079
<v Speaker 1>on the Jesse Kelly Show. Let's just dive right in.

5
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:25.559
<v Speaker 1>First of all, I will talk briefly, try to talk

6
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:29.399
<v Speaker 1>briefly about the hurricane flooding going on right now. We'll

7
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:33.880
<v Speaker 1>address that medal of honor Monday. About an hour from now,

8
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:38.039
<v Speaker 1>we have a little Jesse was right segment. Actually, I

9
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:40.640
<v Speaker 1>take that back, I just misspoke. We have a couple

10
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:44.679
<v Speaker 1>of those tonight. That's always a good time. This doc

11
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:49.920
<v Speaker 1>strike that is coming tomorrow is the biggest deal nobody's

12
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.799
<v Speaker 1>talking about. And I have an expert on all that stuff,

13
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:57.600
<v Speaker 1>supply chains, shipping doc Ross Kennedy is going to join

14
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:01.159
<v Speaker 1>us about a half hour from now. I don't usually

15
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.719
<v Speaker 1>say you need to hear something, but that's something you

16
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:07.079
<v Speaker 1>should probably stay around for. You should probably hear that

17
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.200
<v Speaker 1>about a half hour from now. All that, so much

18
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:13.519
<v Speaker 1>more coming up tonight on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show.

19
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:16.000
<v Speaker 1>And it is a big night. From John Carrey to

20
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:18.959
<v Speaker 1>Bill Gates. We got to go after some commies tonight.

21
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I even have some voicemails. Some were great, some were hate,

22
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:28.159
<v Speaker 1>some were just a disaster. All that and more coming

23
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:31.760
<v Speaker 1>up on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. All right, first,

24
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:36.599
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about Helene, and more specifically, I want to

25
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.079
<v Speaker 1>talk about why I'm not going to talk that much

26
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:43.280
<v Speaker 1>about Helene tonight. For those who maybe are way outside

27
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>of the no, maybe you were in the mountains for

28
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.000
<v Speaker 1>the weekend, had your phone off. All that stuff's fine,

29
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:53.959
<v Speaker 1>But this hurricane came through. Hurricane itself was bad. It

30
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:57.120
<v Speaker 1>was a Cat three. That's a salty hurricane for sure,

31
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:02.400
<v Speaker 1>But as it made its way up through Tennessee, North Carolina,

32
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:09.719
<v Speaker 1>obviously hit Florida, it unleashed flooding that it is just honestly,

33
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>the pictures, the videos, the things that I've spent the

34
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 1>last twenty four hours consuming, they're very hard to see

35
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:20.719
<v Speaker 1>when you see people going through hell. As you are

36
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.360
<v Speaker 1>listening to the sound of my voice right now, there

37
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.919
<v Speaker 1>are so many people missing, there are many people who

38
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:32.639
<v Speaker 1>are dead. The damage that it's awful. It's everything about

39
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>it is completely awful. And it's another reminder. We hate

40
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.240
<v Speaker 1>these reminders because it makes us feel small. Well, I

41
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>should say it reminds us how small we are that

42
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:50.039
<v Speaker 1>for all the incredible power of mankind to create for

43
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>himself cities and towns and spaces and areas, the power

44
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.680
<v Speaker 1>of nature is still such that it can wipe it

45
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:02.199
<v Speaker 1>all away, if that's the way it goes. And it's

46
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.080
<v Speaker 1>scary to think about. I live in a hurricane area.

47
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:08.759
<v Speaker 1>We witnessed it with Hurricane Harvey. The flooding, the devastation

48
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:10.319
<v Speaker 1>is just you think you're fine and then your house

49
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:14.199
<v Speaker 1>is underwater. So first, let's just do this. We need

50
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:18.159
<v Speaker 1>to pray when people are going through what they're going

51
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.199
<v Speaker 1>through right now. You don't have to wait till the

52
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>show's over, Please don't. We need to pray. This is

53
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.199
<v Speaker 1>a time to pray. Every time it's time to pray,

54
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:29.240
<v Speaker 1>but this is a time to pray for these people.

55
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:35.319
<v Speaker 1>That is one two as far as helping goes. I

56
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>have some things that I'm looking at. Organizations not mine.

57
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>This won't be me. Organizations I'm looking at and I'm

58
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.439
<v Speaker 1>going to try to find one. It may be a

59
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:50.879
<v Speaker 1>big one, it may be a small one. I'm going

60
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.879
<v Speaker 1>to try to find one. And if you have a

61
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>heart to help and dig in, I will give that out.

62
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.439
<v Speaker 1>I am not giving any out right now. I need

63
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>to explain something to you. I have worked in the

64
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.719
<v Speaker 1>quote nonprofit world. I worked there for a year. I

65
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:12.639
<v Speaker 1>was a director of development in the nonprofit nonprofit world

66
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:14.680
<v Speaker 1>for a year. I know, Chris, it sounds very fancy.

67
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I was a very important person. Shut up. I've worked

68
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:22.120
<v Speaker 1>in that world. There are a bunch of great people

69
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.600
<v Speaker 1>in that world with good hearts for a good costs.

70
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.439
<v Speaker 1>You know, the preborns, the tunnel to towers. You know

71
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.040
<v Speaker 1>how you can tell though you don't have to take

72
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:35.800
<v Speaker 1>my word for those things. There are charity rating sites.

73
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:40.680
<v Speaker 1>These are independent sites. They go through the books of

74
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.319
<v Speaker 1>a charity. They go through what they have coming in,

75
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.480
<v Speaker 1>what they have going out, where it's going out, and

76
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:51.399
<v Speaker 1>they will rate the charity. Go look up Preborns, Go

77
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:54.439
<v Speaker 1>look up tunnel to towers. Why are those two ones

78
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:57.720
<v Speaker 1>that I scream about on my show? Because when you

79
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.439
<v Speaker 1>give there, it goes exactly where you you want it

80
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:07.560
<v Speaker 1>to go. That is not the rule for charities and nonprofits.

81
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:11.920
<v Speaker 1>I remember, like it was yesterday when Harvey had my

82
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:16.040
<v Speaker 1>entire area. Hurricane Harvey had my entire area underwater. I

83
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.279
<v Speaker 1>was fined don't worry about me, by the grace of God,

84
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:22.319
<v Speaker 1>we were fine, but people were devastated. And I remember

85
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:26.519
<v Speaker 1>crap that was pulled by the American Red Cross and

86
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:30.959
<v Speaker 1>other major organizations send us money to help the Harvey people.

87
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.160
<v Speaker 1>And if you followed the money, pennies on the dollar

88
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:38.160
<v Speaker 1>got to the Harvey people. This is a warning to

89
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:44.199
<v Speaker 1>you to be as shrewd as a snake. And here's

90
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:47.879
<v Speaker 1>why we're often not on a day like today, when

91
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:50.319
<v Speaker 1>we're devastating for these people and we want to help,

92
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:52.480
<v Speaker 1>and they need our help, and they need our prayers.

93
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Our emotions getting the way my emotions. It's happened to

94
00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:58.519
<v Speaker 1>me before. I've ever to one of the more embarrassing

95
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:02.319
<v Speaker 1>stories of my life. You know, I'm not huge on technology.

96
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:04.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm better now, believe it or not, than I was.

97
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:08.040
<v Speaker 1>But I think it was five or ten years ago.

98
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.079
<v Speaker 1>I got a message. It was on social media. I

99
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.439
<v Speaker 1>was with my family. I was with my mom, my dad,

100
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:16.040
<v Speaker 1>my sister, my wife, we were at something and I

101
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:19.720
<v Speaker 1>got a message on social media from someone I knew.

102
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:22.639
<v Speaker 1>This was a person I knew, and they told me

103
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:26.240
<v Speaker 1>that they were stranded in Africa and they need ten thousand.

104
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.279
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't one of those print scams, but it was

105
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.360
<v Speaker 1>something along those lines. But it was a message from

106
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.959
<v Speaker 1>someone I knew, and I immediately sprung out of my

107
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:36.040
<v Speaker 1>chair and I said, oh my gosh, he's in trouble.

108
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:40.319
<v Speaker 1>I got to go send this. And my own mother said, Jessie,

109
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.959
<v Speaker 1>that's a scam. Someone hacked their account and you're getting

110
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.759
<v Speaker 1>ready to send them money. And of course after she

111
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:51.079
<v Speaker 1>said that, I thought, gosh, I'm such an idiot. Of

112
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.759
<v Speaker 1>course that's a freaking scam. But I got emotional. It

113
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:57.079
<v Speaker 1>was a friend, it was someone I knew. Gosh, I

114
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:01.319
<v Speaker 1>got a help over what happens to us. That's what's

115
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:05.079
<v Speaker 1>happening to you to me today. Help. I want you

116
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:10.680
<v Speaker 1>to help. Once you have verified the organization or if

117
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:17.720
<v Speaker 1>it's an individual, verify Verify, Verify. Don't go on Facebook

118
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:21.680
<v Speaker 1>and see a picture about how Muffy was swept away

119
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.399
<v Speaker 1>in the flood and for the low low price of

120
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.319
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine to ninety five, you will help them get

121
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Muffy back. He's somewhere in the flood. You don't know

122
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:35.680
<v Speaker 1>that person. I know Muffy's cute. Be careful give. I'm

123
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.199
<v Speaker 1>asking you to give. I have given, I will give more,

124
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:46.279
<v Speaker 1>but give where you trust verify first, they will use

125
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:50.079
<v Speaker 1>your emotions against you to send your money places it

126
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't go. All right now, maybe you're sitting here expecting me.

127
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:57.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you've heard a ton of this today. Maybe

128
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:00.959
<v Speaker 1>you're sitting here expecting me to go on off about

129
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:06.839
<v Speaker 1>the federal response or lack thereof. Right now, where is FEMA?

130
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:10.399
<v Speaker 1>Where's the federal government? FEMA's here, They're not doing enough.

131
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Let me explain to you why I'm not going to

132
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:14.199
<v Speaker 1>do that. Two different reasons why I'm not going to

133
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:19.040
<v Speaker 1>do that. One, I long ago accepted that the federal

134
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:23.439
<v Speaker 1>government hates me, the federal government hates you. I'm not

135
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:26.920
<v Speaker 1>under any delusions that it's different than that they despise us.

136
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:32.279
<v Speaker 1>That's one I never expected FEMA, even if it could help,

137
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:36.039
<v Speaker 1>that they would help. And FEMA, because it's government, is

138
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:42.360
<v Speaker 1>a misorganized disaster anyway. And FEMA has goal number one

139
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:45.679
<v Speaker 1>on their website about equity. Did you think this was

140
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:49.440
<v Speaker 1>just Dome who spoke like this. It's on FEMA's website.

141
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:53.879
<v Speaker 2>It is our lowest income communities and our communities of

142
00:08:53.919 --> 00:09:00.080
<v Speaker 2>color that are most impacted by these extreme conditions and

143
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.759
<v Speaker 2>and impacted by issues that are not of their own

144
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:08.559
<v Speaker 2>making and so absolutely, and so we have to address

145
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:12.240
<v Speaker 2>this in a way that is about giving resources based

146
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:12.960
<v Speaker 2>on equity.

147
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:15.600
<v Speaker 1>I need to clarify that's an old clip. That was

148
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.399
<v Speaker 1>not her response to this hurricane. That was her response

149
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.440
<v Speaker 1>to another hurricane. So whatever, but it doesn't matter. That's

150
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:24.600
<v Speaker 1>FEMA's stance too. I wasn't ever banking on FEMA. You

151
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:26.960
<v Speaker 1>know what I do bank on and what I've been

152
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:29.200
<v Speaker 1>so inspired by for the last twenty four to forty

153
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:34.799
<v Speaker 1>eight hours, the American people. I mentioned Hurricane Harvey. It

154
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:37.960
<v Speaker 1>touches my heart to this day when I look back

155
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:43.080
<v Speaker 1>at Hurricane Harvey and I saw neighbors, people who didn't

156
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:47.840
<v Speaker 1>know each other, coming together to help, helping clear roads,

157
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:52.120
<v Speaker 1>helping get people out, giving money, giving water, giving food.

158
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:57.679
<v Speaker 1>The American people can and will step up for each

159
00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:00.960
<v Speaker 1>other and help each other. We must do that. We

160
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:04.279
<v Speaker 1>must do that. So not gonna stand on the dead

161
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:08.039
<v Speaker 1>bodies of Hurricane Helen and trash the government or whatever,

162
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:10.039
<v Speaker 1>we know what they are. I'm going to bank on

163
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.399
<v Speaker 1>the American people to get it right, and they will

164
00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:15.120
<v Speaker 1>get it right. So bow your head, say a prayer,

165
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:18.879
<v Speaker 1>be very shrewd with your giving. But if you can

166
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:21.240
<v Speaker 1>even if it's a case of water whatever, If you

167
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:24.279
<v Speaker 1>can find the right place and give I will try

168
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:26.440
<v Speaker 1>to find one. It may even be a small one,

169
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:29.759
<v Speaker 1>but I will try to find one that I have verified,

170
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:33.480
<v Speaker 1>that I trust, and I will give it to you. Okay, Okay,

171
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Also pray. I know I already said that ten times,

172
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:39.840
<v Speaker 1>but pray. There's a lot of people who need it

173
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:41.600
<v Speaker 1>right now. And there's a lot of people looking for

174
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.200
<v Speaker 1>a missing loved one who need a miracle. Say a

175
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.360
<v Speaker 1>prayer for them. Okay, all right, enough enough of that

176
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:51.120
<v Speaker 1>mushy stuff. Let's talk about me. No, we're not gonna

177
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:54.200
<v Speaker 1>talk about me, not really, We're gonna talk Remember that

178
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:57.799
<v Speaker 1>talk we did last week about leaders of Western civilization

179
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:02.279
<v Speaker 1>and why they despise it. Oh, I owe a debt

180
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:05.480
<v Speaker 1>a gratitude to a mister John Kerry for going ahead

181
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:08.080
<v Speaker 1>and reinforcing my point. We'll play that in a moment.

182
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:10.639
<v Speaker 1>If you don't remember that talk from last week, it's

183
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:14.159
<v Speaker 1>probably because your tea levels are too low. You see,

184
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:18.639
<v Speaker 1>testosterone is about a lot more than making babies. Testosterone

185
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.679
<v Speaker 1>is about your mind and your mood. Do you have

186
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.399
<v Speaker 1>a clear mind, are you focused? Are you energetic? Or

187
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:30.120
<v Speaker 1>are you down all the time, kind of foggy. I'm forgetful.

188
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I turned fifty and I started forgetting things. You ever

189
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:35.480
<v Speaker 1>said stuff for yourself like that. It's not supposed to

190
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:37.840
<v Speaker 1>be that way. Your tea levels are dropping because you're

191
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:40.799
<v Speaker 1>drinking estrogen. It's in our water. Now we have to

192
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:46.840
<v Speaker 1>fight back against that naturally, in natural ways. And that's

193
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:50.840
<v Speaker 1>what a male vitality stack from Chalk. You know Chok Choq.

194
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:53.519
<v Speaker 1>They have the natural herbal supplements. One of the things

195
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:55.519
<v Speaker 1>they have is a male vitality stack. It'll raise your

196
00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:58.720
<v Speaker 1>tea levels by twenty percent in ninety days. You're gonna

197
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:03.919
<v Speaker 1>feel like a new human being. Five zero Chuck three

198
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:06.840
<v Speaker 1>thousand is the number you can call. You can text

199
00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:11.799
<v Speaker 1>them five zero Cchoq three thousand. Tell him Jesse sent you.

200
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:13.679
<v Speaker 1>We'll be back the.

201
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:14.840
<v Speaker 3>Jesse Kelly Show.

202
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday, of course,

203
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:23.679
<v Speaker 1>Medal of Honor Monday coming up about forty five minutes

204
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:28.960
<v Speaker 1>from now. And remember Ross Kennedy's shipping expert, supply chains,

205
00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:33.840
<v Speaker 1>logistic expert. He's coming on in about ten minutes. You

206
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:35.879
<v Speaker 1>probably need to sit around for this one. There's a

207
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:41.360
<v Speaker 1>huge strike coming a port strike. I hear a lot

208
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:43.559
<v Speaker 1>of terrifying things about it. I'm gonna know what's real,

209
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:45.759
<v Speaker 1>what's not. What should we prepare for. Here's a headline

210
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:51.000
<v Speaker 1>from CNBC East Coast Port strike. Truckers rails scrambled to

211
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:55.519
<v Speaker 1>move billions in cargo before the ila. That's the name

212
00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:59.480
<v Speaker 1>of the union. It's Alongshoreman Union Midnight shutdown. So midnight tonight.

213
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:02.879
<v Speaker 1>What do we need to be ready for? What's coming?

214
00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:05.919
<v Speaker 1>Is this a big deal? Small deal? Ross is gonna

215
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.919
<v Speaker 1>tell us about ten minutes now. I talk a lot

216
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:12.840
<v Speaker 1>about the leaders of Western civilization, how they think and

217
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:16.200
<v Speaker 1>why they think that way. I'm going to play something

218
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:19.120
<v Speaker 1>for you, says a little long This is me from

219
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:21.600
<v Speaker 1>last week. The show was on the twenty sixth, and

220
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:25.200
<v Speaker 1>this talk I did was very, very long. But John

221
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Kerry said something came out over the weekend. Man Alive.

222
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I owe him a thanks because boy that he proved

223
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:34.840
<v Speaker 1>the old oracle right in case you were missing it.

224
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.639
<v Speaker 1>This is what I said last week. The nature of

225
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:42.120
<v Speaker 1>people who are in charge or in government, it generally

226
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:45.480
<v Speaker 1>is not a nature of service. I'm a servant of

227
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:48.200
<v Speaker 1>the people, even though they love using that language. The

228
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:52.000
<v Speaker 1>nature of people who walk into positions of power generally

229
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.399
<v Speaker 1>is man, I'm a king, or at least I should be,

230
00:13:57.480 --> 00:14:00.879
<v Speaker 1>and I should have more power than I do. And

231
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>if I just had more power than I do now,

232
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:06.919
<v Speaker 1>then I can do this and that and this and that.

233
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:09.559
<v Speaker 1>And we have to understand that before we go further

234
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:11.559
<v Speaker 1>into this is going to come back to immigration and

235
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:15.240
<v Speaker 1>illegal immigration in the system. We have to understand the

236
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:20.600
<v Speaker 1>people who took over Western civilization over time, they all

237
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:24.480
<v Speaker 1>shared that mentality. They don't have some love of the

238
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:29.159
<v Speaker 1>constitution or rights or you or anything. These these concepts

239
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:32.519
<v Speaker 1>are completely foreign to them. They do know that they

240
00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:37.360
<v Speaker 1>are high society and they know something else. They know

241
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:42.840
<v Speaker 1>that these these limits on their power, they're not good.

242
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.919
<v Speaker 1>Something has to be done about it. That was me

243
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:51.279
<v Speaker 1>from the twenty sixth Allow me to introduce you what Chris,

244
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:55.679
<v Speaker 1>it's fine. Allow me to introduce you to one John Kerry. Hey, John,

245
00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:58.799
<v Speaker 1>if you're listening, appreciate you from making my point.

246
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:01.159
<v Speaker 3>Look, if people go to only one source, and the

247
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:05.440
<v Speaker 3>source they go to is sick and you know, as

248
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:10.440
<v Speaker 3>an agenda, and they're putting out disinformation, our First Amendment

249
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:13.159
<v Speaker 3>stands as a major block to the ability to be

250
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:16.240
<v Speaker 3>able to just you hammer it out of existence. So

251
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.039
<v Speaker 3>what you need, what we need is to is to

252
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:24.240
<v Speaker 3>win the ground, win the right to govern by hopefully

253
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.200
<v Speaker 3>having winning enough votes that you're free to be able to.

254
00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:36.679
<v Speaker 1>Implement change. That's about thirty seconds of terror if you

255
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:40.000
<v Speaker 1>really really listen to what he's saying there. I know

256
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:42.360
<v Speaker 1>you already heard the part that proves my point that

257
00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:46.120
<v Speaker 1>pesky First Amendment. But let's break this down a little

258
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:49.240
<v Speaker 1>bit more, shall we, John describe the First Amendment? Now,

259
00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:52.120
<v Speaker 1>keep in mind before I play this, you being able

260
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:56.440
<v Speaker 1>to criticize your government, to say the president sucks, screw

261
00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden. That is not a small thing or something

262
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:04.879
<v Speaker 1>that makes Twitter more fun. Being able to freely speak,

263
00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:09.960
<v Speaker 1>have your own opinion and criticize those in charge. People

264
00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:13.960
<v Speaker 1>throughout history would have killed for that right. It's a

265
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:18.200
<v Speaker 1>sacred right, something you should wrap your arms around and

266
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.639
<v Speaker 1>protect at any cost. What's John Kerry and the rest

267
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:23.759
<v Speaker 1>of the elite think about it.

268
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:26.240
<v Speaker 3>But look, if people go to only one source, and

269
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:30.240
<v Speaker 3>the source they go to is sick and you know,

270
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:35.039
<v Speaker 3>as an agenda, and they're putting out disinformation, our First

271
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:37.559
<v Speaker 3>Amendment stands as a major block to.

272
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.399
<v Speaker 1>The these people are putting out this second agenda, and

273
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:46.399
<v Speaker 1>it's disgusting that first Amendment stands as what is it?

274
00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:50.600
<v Speaker 1>A precious right given to you by God? No, it's

275
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:54.000
<v Speaker 1>a major block. It's holding John back. But that's not

276
00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:56.440
<v Speaker 1>the most revealing part of it. In fact, it's not

277
00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:59.279
<v Speaker 1>even second. There are two other parts of this. The

278
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:04.240
<v Speaker 1>most revealed part actually comes next. So John Kerry mad

279
00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:07.359
<v Speaker 1>about this first Amendment, but if he could get around it,

280
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:10.160
<v Speaker 1>if he could find a way around it, Hey, John,

281
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:15.000
<v Speaker 1>how would you handle this problem? Are you do? You

282
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:17.720
<v Speaker 1>want to convince the people who disagree with you, bring

283
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:18.839
<v Speaker 1>them over to your side?

284
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:19.880
<v Speaker 4>How would you?

285
00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:23.799
<v Speaker 1>How would you describe the best way to handle all

286
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:25.480
<v Speaker 1>this information? You don't lie it real.

287
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:27.880
<v Speaker 3>I need to be able to just, you know, hammer

288
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:28.839
<v Speaker 3>it out of existence.

289
00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:35.680
<v Speaker 1>So yep, you want to what now, John? You want

290
00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:39.759
<v Speaker 1>to hammer it? Interesting way they think about it, isn't

291
00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:45.319
<v Speaker 1>it If it wasn't for that annoying first Amendment holding

292
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:48.519
<v Speaker 1>them back, then they could show up at your door

293
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.680
<v Speaker 1>and hammer that out of existence. So they think, did

294
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:54.400
<v Speaker 1>you think I was being dramatic last week when I

295
00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:57.079
<v Speaker 1>was describing how they think, Oh, not near done. We're

296
00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:59.400
<v Speaker 1>actually going to talk to Ross Kennedy and then we're

297
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.039
<v Speaker 1>going to break this thing down and even more detail. Yahly,

298
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.920
<v Speaker 1>these people are horrifying. Before we do that, let's talk

299
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:13.400
<v Speaker 1>about IFCJ. So today, on top of all the other

300
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:17.640
<v Speaker 1>assassinations and things, Iran's supreme leader has been taken to

301
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:25.119
<v Speaker 1>a secure location and Israel has begun making little raids

302
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:28.920
<v Speaker 1>into Lebanon. I don't know where all this is going.

303
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know whether it's almost over or if it's beginning.

304
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:34.720
<v Speaker 1>But I know that there are a bunch of people

305
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:39.079
<v Speaker 1>in Israel right now who need some help. Life saving aid,

306
00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:43.640
<v Speaker 1>food boxes, emergency supplies. They need help. They need it now.

307
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:48.119
<v Speaker 1>If you are able to help, if you're able to,

308
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:50.319
<v Speaker 1>they're asking for a hundred bucks. If you're able to

309
00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:53.359
<v Speaker 1>help the IFCJ is on the ground, they're not here,

310
00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:57.160
<v Speaker 1>they're on the ground helping everywhere they can find it.

311
00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:01.079
<v Speaker 1>If you want to help them, call eight eight eight

312
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:06.839

<v Speaker 1>support IFCJ dot org. All right, Ross Kennedy is joining us.

315
00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:20.680
<v Speaker 1>There's a big strike at the ports. Why should I care?

316
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Why should you care? I don't know. We'll find out

317
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:28.039
<v Speaker 1>next Hey Kelly's show. Please tell me Ross didn't did

318
00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:31.799
<v Speaker 1>Ross did? He didn't choose this song? Oh? Ross didn't

319
00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:35.240
<v Speaker 1>choose a song? Yeah, Well, look, I'm really excited to

320
00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:38.839
<v Speaker 1>talk to Ross for this analysis. Obviously, Ross joins us again.

321
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Everyone on my show knows Ross Kennedy. But Ross should

322
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:44.799
<v Speaker 1>have understood by now that you have to choose your

323
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:47.279
<v Speaker 1>song or you get the worst song we can find

324
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:51.279
<v Speaker 1>on short notice. So congratulations, Ross, you got introduced to you.

325
00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know who that was, but man, it

326
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:53.200
<v Speaker 1>was terrible.

327
00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:56.720
<v Speaker 4>You say that as if I wasn't absolutely jamming out

328
00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:58.720
<v Speaker 4>too as we came in.

329
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:04.039
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's fair, all right, Ross, you know more than

330
00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:06.599
<v Speaker 1>anyone else I've ever talked to in my life about

331
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:09.359
<v Speaker 1>supply chains, about all kinds of this stuff, and I

332
00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:12.519
<v Speaker 1>don't understand how these things work. I'm told that there's

333
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:15.119
<v Speaker 1>a big long shorm in union and they're about to

334
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:17.680
<v Speaker 1>go on strike at midnight, and that the entire world

335
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:20.160
<v Speaker 1>is going to implode when that happens. So I'm just

336
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:22.960
<v Speaker 1>going to hand over the world famous Jesse Kelly Show

337
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:26.079
<v Speaker 1>to you to explain to all of us exactly what

338
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:29.559
<v Speaker 1>is happening. If I interrupt, it's because I'm stupid and confused.

339
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:30.319
<v Speaker 1>What's happening.

340
00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:37.440
<v Speaker 4>Well, so there has not been a warp stoppage related

341
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:40.839
<v Speaker 4>to the International Longshormans Association. So there's actually two unions

342
00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:44.480
<v Speaker 4>in the US that represent the longshorm in which are

343
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:49.400
<v Speaker 4>the individuals that are working at the ports to load

344
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:54.400
<v Speaker 4>and unload containers, cargo, move things around the port. It's

345
00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:57.839
<v Speaker 4>kind of a complex web of activity, and you know

346
00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:01.160
<v Speaker 4>all the beehives. But the upshot is that there's a

347
00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:05.400
<v Speaker 4>West Coast union which had significant risk of a major

348
00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:10.039
<v Speaker 4>labor stoppage in Los Angeles, Long Beach, Oakland, Seattle, Vancouver, etc.

349
00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:15.400
<v Speaker 4>Last year. This year it is now anything that's the

350
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:18.519
<v Speaker 4>US East Coast or Gulf Coast ports, so everything from

351
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:22.559
<v Speaker 4>Houston all the way up to Maine, and there's about

352
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:26.920
<v Speaker 4>forty five thousand longshoremen that are involved in this labor

353
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:31.680
<v Speaker 4>dispute comes down to two things. Primarily, number one is pay.

354
00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:35.319
<v Speaker 4>They're paid about thirty to thirty five thousand dollars a

355
00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:38.839
<v Speaker 4>year less than their counterparts on the West Coast. Obviously

356
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:40.599
<v Speaker 4>have cost of living and all sorts of things, but

357
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:44.400
<v Speaker 4>these are different unions that are representing the interests of

358
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:47.920
<v Speaker 4>their members on the two coasts versus the left coast.

359
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:51.799
<v Speaker 4>The other issue is one of automation. There has been

360
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:57.640
<v Speaker 4>a huge push globally within major ports to have automated

361
00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:00.920
<v Speaker 4>or semi automated equipment that are largely able to handle

362
00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:04.960
<v Speaker 4>the loading and unloading of containers with cranes, movement around

363
00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:09.279
<v Speaker 4>on dock, stacking of containers. That obviously does away with

364
00:22:09.319 --> 00:22:12.240
<v Speaker 4>a lot of jobs. That's an existential threat in their mind.

365
00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:19.000
<v Speaker 4>The upshot to that is is that there's significantly higher

366
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:23.279
<v Speaker 4>risk of extra fees, delays things that go with a

367
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:27.480
<v Speaker 4>manned port versus an automated port. If you look at

368
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:30.920
<v Speaker 4>going back into say twenty twenty two, towards the tail

369
00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:32.960
<v Speaker 4>end of a lot of the COVID supply chain issues

370
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:36.400
<v Speaker 4>that we were seeing in port, the top four or

371
00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:40.680
<v Speaker 4>five highest ports in the world for these extra fees

372
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:44.680
<v Speaker 4>were US ports that are more or less manned. When

373
00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:46.960
<v Speaker 4>you look at some of the very large automated ports

374
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:50.200
<v Speaker 4>where there really isn't a lot of labor on the

375
00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:53.359
<v Speaker 4>dock to say any it's all being run by the robots,

376
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:57.400
<v Speaker 4>and it's being run from a control room. That's Shanghai

377
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:00.799
<v Speaker 4>that's Rotterdam, that support of Antwerp and belt them. Some

378
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:03.160
<v Speaker 4>of these massive ports move more volume than a lot

379
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:06.480
<v Speaker 4>of the ones we have in the US, were significantly

380
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:10.279
<v Speaker 4>reduced in terms of you know, extra costs, extra fees,

381
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:13.240
<v Speaker 4>delays to the people that are moving you know, the

382
00:23:13.319 --> 00:23:15.359
<v Speaker 4>shippers that are moving cargo on and off the port.

383
00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:19.279
<v Speaker 4>So they really do see this as this automation is

384
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:23.200
<v Speaker 4>going to kill their profession. They see themselves, at least

385
00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:25.759
<v Speaker 4>the ILA the East Coast and Gulf Coast a long

386
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:29.920
<v Speaker 4>shoreman see themselves as underpaid compared to the others. And

387
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:34.279
<v Speaker 4>there is some validity to that relative to the fact

388
00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:37.200
<v Speaker 4>that a lot of these ports are more manual labor

389
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:39.599
<v Speaker 4>intensive related to handling cargo on the docks and on

390
00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:43.400
<v Speaker 4>the ships than the West coast ports. So it's kind

391
00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:45.880
<v Speaker 4>of a muddy mess. And now we're here at kind

392
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:51.039
<v Speaker 4>of d day where if the talks between the Maritime

393
00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:54.039
<v Speaker 4>Association that represents the ports and shipowners on the East

394
00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:57.160
<v Speaker 4>Coast and in the Gulf don't come to an agreement

395
00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:00.160
<v Speaker 4>with the forty five thousand members of the ISLA that

396
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:03.440
<v Speaker 4>are involved in this, then all the ports that are

397
00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:08.000
<v Speaker 4>involved will shut down. So yeah, it's an ugly situation.

398
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:11.279
<v Speaker 4>It's coming right ahead of the election. The long shorm

399
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:14.759
<v Speaker 4>In unions have historically been very Democrat and this now

400
00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:18.680
<v Speaker 4>comes on the back of Hurricane Helen doing hurricane things.

401
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:22.960
<v Speaker 4>So it's a lot of competing political priorities and timing

402
00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:24.640
<v Speaker 4>here right ahead of the election.

403
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well, speaking with Ross Kennedy Fortis analysis, I have

404
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:32.200
<v Speaker 1>so many questions I don't even know where to begin.

405
00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:34.319
<v Speaker 1>But that was all actually pretty terrifying.

406
00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:34.720
<v Speaker 3>Ross.

407
00:24:35.319 --> 00:24:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I'd gotten myself horrified this morning thinking about the implications

408
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:41.400
<v Speaker 1>of shutting down the East coast ports, and then I

409
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:43.480
<v Speaker 1>convinced myself when I texted you to come on. I

410
00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:46.079
<v Speaker 1>convinced myself that Ross will come on and calm me

411
00:24:46.119 --> 00:24:48.039
<v Speaker 1>down and tell me everything's going to work out fine.

412
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:50.599
<v Speaker 1>But somehow I'm twice as scared now as I was

413
00:24:50.680 --> 00:24:53.599
<v Speaker 1>before I even ask the question. And I'm worried because

414
00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:56.880
<v Speaker 1>it sounds not insurmountable. What all these things get worked

415
00:24:56.880 --> 00:24:59.559
<v Speaker 1>out eventually in the end, But just doing some rough

416
00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:03.160
<v Speaker 1>community college math in my head. Underpaid by thirty five

417
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:06.960
<v Speaker 1>thousand a man, forty five thousand union guys, that sounds

418
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:09.799
<v Speaker 1>like you're asking the ship owners to fork out a

419
00:25:09.920 --> 00:25:12.480
<v Speaker 1>large check. They're simply not going to fork out at all.

420
00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:14.519
<v Speaker 1>It sounds like they're a million miles away. What did

421
00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:15.359
<v Speaker 1>am I missing? Something?

422
00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:21.880
<v Speaker 4>Roughly two point eight billion dollars apart right now on

423
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:26.680
<v Speaker 4>the negotiating stance. So they want a seventy seventy seven

424
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:30.680
<v Speaker 4>percent pay increase that phases in over the least five years.

425
00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:35.559
<v Speaker 4>You're talking about an eighty one thousand dollars average salary

426
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:40.240
<v Speaker 4>or compensation, not including overtime and benefits for the long shorm.

427
00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:43.839
<v Speaker 4>And so you take that times forty five thousand, and

428
00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:46.599
<v Speaker 4>we would be looking at about across these ports that

429
00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:48.599
<v Speaker 4>move forty percent of the cargo in and out of

430
00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:51.799
<v Speaker 4>the US, including especially a lot of fruits, a lot

431
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:56.240
<v Speaker 4>of vegetables, a lot of energy products, automobiles, minerals are

432
00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:59.319
<v Speaker 4>very heavy in the golf and East Coast ports versus

433
00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:02.559
<v Speaker 4>the West Coast. You're talking about a two point eight

434
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:06.400
<v Speaker 4>billion dollar increase that would be eaten by the terminals

435
00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:08.880
<v Speaker 4>the ports. So you have a port, you have multiple

436
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:12.440
<v Speaker 4>terminals usually within the port, that operate independently but under

437
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:14.759
<v Speaker 4>the port authority, and then you have the ship owners.

438
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:17.119
<v Speaker 4>So that two point eight billion over the next five

439
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:20.960
<v Speaker 4>years would have to be spread fairly equally across taxpayers

440
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:24.519
<v Speaker 4>and fairly equally across the people at the bottom of

441
00:26:24.519 --> 00:26:28.119
<v Speaker 4>the totem pole who pay every additional charge, which is

442
00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:29.839
<v Speaker 4>the importer or the exporter.

443
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let me ask this question. Sorry, Ross, I may

444
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:35.400
<v Speaker 1>end up by the way I should note. Do I

445
00:26:35.559 --> 00:26:38.279
<v Speaker 1>have you for an extra ten? It's fine if I didn't.

446
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:40.039
<v Speaker 1>We didn't talk about this before. I just have a

447
00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:43.519
<v Speaker 1>lot of questions here. Do I have you for another segment? Okay? Good,

448
00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:45.640
<v Speaker 1>because that leads me to this question, is that I

449
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:47.680
<v Speaker 1>don't want don't want it to be my last one?

450
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:51.519
<v Speaker 1>What kind of margins? I'm not one of these guys

451
00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:54.920
<v Speaker 1>who goes after people's profits, but you mentioned two point

452
00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:58.279
<v Speaker 1>eight billion or two what it's called three billion dollars.

453
00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:02.440
<v Speaker 1>That doesn't sound like a ton of money when you're

454
00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:06.319
<v Speaker 1>dealing with that many different ports and that much industry.

455
00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:08.160
<v Speaker 1>I know it's a lot of money. I'm not thumb

456
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:10.039
<v Speaker 1>in my nose at two point eight billion dollars, But

457
00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:15.480
<v Speaker 1>surely the profits are there to pay that, right, Are

458
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:17.880
<v Speaker 1>there not big margins? Well?

459
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:22.799
<v Speaker 4>You shipowners had lost you know in the aggregate. You

460
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:27.640
<v Speaker 4>know what we call containership. You know, owners had lost

461
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:30.680
<v Speaker 4>you know, in the last twenty five years prior to COVID,

462
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.880
<v Speaker 4>I think every year but twenty three or every year

463
00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:36.920
<v Speaker 4>but two of the twenty five they had lost money.

464
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:41.799
<v Speaker 4>COVID really, COVID really reversed their fortunes because they were

465
00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:47.680
<v Speaker 4>able to begin charging excessive searcharges that were within the

466
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:50.599
<v Speaker 4>law but certainly not within the spirit. So you've had

467
00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:54.599
<v Speaker 4>the Federal Maritime Commission doing a number of studies and

468
00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:57.640
<v Speaker 4>surveys and assessing fines and penalties to the ocean carriers

469
00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:00.880
<v Speaker 4>for these extra searcharges that are very much out of

470
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:03.519
<v Speaker 4>the scope and we're kind of created on an ad

471
00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:07.559
<v Speaker 4>hoc basis to avoid the law and charge more money

472
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:09.839
<v Speaker 4>back to the importer and exporter who ultimately paid a

473
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:13.559
<v Speaker 4>bill for everything involved with an ocean freight transaction. In

474
00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:17.640
<v Speaker 4>this particular case, what you would see are container lines

475
00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:25.079
<v Speaker 4>implementing very quickly additional searcharges for labor risk, for port

476
00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:31.039
<v Speaker 4>operational slowdowns. So every dollar in known quantified risk in

477
00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:33.440
<v Speaker 4>this case two point eight billion over the next five years,

478
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:35.720
<v Speaker 4>is they're going to find a way to recoup that

479
00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:38.839
<v Speaker 4>using that as a justification. Three to four to five ways,

480
00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:42.720
<v Speaker 4>but it won't be dollars equal. When you look at

481
00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:49.519
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty twenty to twenty two, thirteen point eight billion

482
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:54.200
<v Speaker 4>dollars in excess searcharges and fees were collected by the

483
00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:57.720
<v Speaker 4>ports terminals and ocean carriers as a result of all

484
00:28:57.759 --> 00:29:00.480
<v Speaker 4>of the supply chain challenges and logistics just that we

485
00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:04.960
<v Speaker 4>have related to COVID. So if we say the longshoremen

486
00:29:05.079 --> 00:29:08.839
<v Speaker 4>are responsible for ten percent at most, this two point

487
00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:13.720
<v Speaker 4>eight billion dollar increase rolls down to about four hundred

488
00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:16.960
<v Speaker 4>and forty million a year, that you could credibly say

489
00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:19.920
<v Speaker 4>the longshoremen are responsible for those extra fees happening. The

490
00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:22.839
<v Speaker 4>other ninety percent is a whole bunch of other factors.

491
00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:26.119
<v Speaker 4>So what they're really arguing against is pay US two

492
00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:28.640
<v Speaker 4>point eight billion over the next five years and avoid

493
00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:33.519
<v Speaker 4>automation or anytime there's a risk or disruption or whatever.

494
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:37.559
<v Speaker 4>We're talking a billion dollar to five billion dollars depending

495
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:39.559
<v Speaker 4>on the math you look at, hit to the US

496
00:29:39.680 --> 00:29:42.839
<v Speaker 4>economy every day the ports are shut down. So it's

497
00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:46.039
<v Speaker 4>a hostage situation on the you know, between two parties

498
00:29:46.079 --> 00:29:49.000
<v Speaker 4>who neither of them in a lot of ways, are

499
00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:53.000
<v Speaker 4>really all that people are not going to be inclined

500
00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:55.880
<v Speaker 4>to see their side of it. It's a it's a

501
00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:58.640
<v Speaker 4>lot of extra money. Where we go on strike having

502
00:29:58.680 --> 00:30:02.839
<v Speaker 4>that multi billion dollar impact to the US economy, or

503
00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:04.759
<v Speaker 4>we continue with the status quo. You give in to

504
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:07.079
<v Speaker 4>our demands and you're still going to end up paying

505
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:09.279
<v Speaker 4>US two point eight billion dollars over the next five years.

506
00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:13.319
<v Speaker 1>All right, look we are I'm up against the break.

507
00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:16.000
<v Speaker 1>We're going to come back with Ross Kennedy Fordis analysis.

508
00:30:16.039 --> 00:30:19.599
<v Speaker 1>I have some questions about the impact to you. To me,

509
00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:21.839
<v Speaker 1>what if this thing's going to go on for a bit,

510
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:23.519
<v Speaker 1>and it sounds like there's a chance it might. I'm

511
00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:25.440
<v Speaker 1>want to know what we're what we're in store for

512
00:30:25.880 --> 00:30:29.960
<v Speaker 1>before we do that. So I get a lot of

513
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:36.000
<v Speaker 1>emails about self defense. And look, I am not some

514
00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:39.319
<v Speaker 1>defense expert. I'm not some freaking Navy seal or something

515
00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:41.960
<v Speaker 1>like that. I know a bit about a bit. I

516
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:45.319
<v Speaker 1>will tell you personally what I do. I carry lethal

517
00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:48.319
<v Speaker 1>because I am allowed to do so. I live in

518
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:50.359
<v Speaker 1>a state where I'm allowed to do so. I carry lethal.

519
00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:55.079
<v Speaker 1>I carry my Springfield Hellcat Pro, and I carry non lethal.

520
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:59.279
<v Speaker 1>I love having a non lethal option. If there's some

521
00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:03.559
<v Speaker 1>crazy homeless guy leaning on my car and don't don't move,

522
00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:06.880
<v Speaker 1>won't move. I need to Leavenna. Not gonna blow his

523
00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:10.279
<v Speaker 1>head off, right. I want a non lethal option. Berna

524
00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:15.519
<v Speaker 1>is the non lethal option. B. Why Rna? Maybe you're

525
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:17.200
<v Speaker 1>in a blue area they won't allow you to have

526
00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:19.880
<v Speaker 1>a gun. Everyone's allowed to have Berna. Everybody legal in

527
00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:22.559
<v Speaker 1>all fifty states, No permit needed, no nothing. It's tear

528
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:25.480
<v Speaker 1>gas balls or pepper balls or kinetic rounds. Those are

529
00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:28.839
<v Speaker 1>just the hard plastic rounds. Get one. Whether you carry

530
00:31:28.920 --> 00:31:32.079
<v Speaker 1>lethal or not. You need a burn a pistol launcher. B.

531
00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Why Rna? Berna dot com slash Jesse We'll be back

532
00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:43.599
<v Speaker 1>eddies the Jesse Kelly Show. Final segment of the first

533
00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:46.240
<v Speaker 1>dollar of The Jesse Kelly Show, or ten minutes away

534
00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:48.640
<v Speaker 1>from Medal of Honor Monday. I just wanted to finish

535
00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:53.000
<v Speaker 1>up my conversation with Ross Kennedy Fortis analysis our shipping

536
00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:56.880
<v Speaker 1>logistics supply chain guy, What are we in store for

537
00:31:57.039 --> 00:32:00.680
<v Speaker 1>with this long shorm and union strike on the East Coast? Sorry? Ross,

538
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:04.119
<v Speaker 1>you just broke down all the all the gripes, if

539
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:06.720
<v Speaker 1>you will, of each side. I get all that, but

540
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:11.799
<v Speaker 1>me the American consumer. You mentioned things like cars. Well, shoot,

541
00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:13.960
<v Speaker 1>I got a sixteen year old who's gonna need one soon.

542
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:17.799
<v Speaker 1>If this thing goes on, if they don't work this out,

543
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:21.680
<v Speaker 1>and they sound far apart, what are we the consumer

544
00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:22.400
<v Speaker 1>in store for?

545
00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:28.640
<v Speaker 4>Well, if it's just a one day shut down, you know,

546
00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:33.079
<v Speaker 4>train falls off the tracks. Tomorrow we get into a

547
00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:35.559
<v Speaker 4>twenty four hour shutdown. You're still talking about a week

548
00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:38.440
<v Speaker 4>to get supply chains back on track. You know, it's

549
00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:40.880
<v Speaker 4>a Train's a really useful analogy here for a couple

550
00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:44.079
<v Speaker 4>of reasons. Number One, once it comes to a dead stop,

551
00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:46.480
<v Speaker 4>it takes an awful long time and power for it

552
00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:48.680
<v Speaker 4>to break friction to get moving down the tracks again,

553
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:53.000
<v Speaker 4>both literally and metaphorically. The reason for that is is

554
00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:56.640
<v Speaker 4>that as containers stop, as trucks stop, the backlog continues.

555
00:32:56.680 --> 00:33:00.359
<v Speaker 4>The ship still continue coming in ocean, carriers are still

556
00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:04.079
<v Speaker 4>re routing and moving cargo to West coast ports away

557
00:33:04.079 --> 00:33:06.799
<v Speaker 4>from the East coast. None of that just you know,

558
00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:10.200
<v Speaker 4>stops on a dime and everything goes back to normal.

559
00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:12.839
<v Speaker 4>One of the other things that's not really been discussed here.

560
00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:15.039
<v Speaker 4>Everybody's focused on the fact that, you know, something like

561
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:18.480
<v Speaker 4>thirty ports, the thirty five ports in the US on

562
00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:20.400
<v Speaker 4>the Gulf Coast and the East coast would be impacted

563
00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:23.519
<v Speaker 4>by this. The other challenge though, is that the East

564
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:28.680
<v Speaker 4>coast ports, particularly Norfolk, Savannah and New York, are what

565
00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:32.839
<v Speaker 4>we call intermodal gateways, meaning that they are the primary

566
00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:36.519
<v Speaker 4>on dock for rail service with the Norfolk, Southern, and

567
00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:43.759
<v Speaker 4>CSX railroads into Chicago, Saint louis the Ohio's if Ohio

568
00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:46.799
<v Speaker 4>were real, which is a favorite joke for everybody. So

569
00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:50.880
<v Speaker 4>you have all of these inland points that are connected

570
00:33:50.920 --> 00:33:54.039
<v Speaker 4>directly to and you know, the lifeblood of them is

571
00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:57.200
<v Speaker 4>the rail movements that comes to and from these ports

572
00:33:57.599 --> 00:34:00.960
<v Speaker 4>at the coasts, and so things that normally come inland.

573
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:03.960
<v Speaker 4>It doesn't just impact companies at the coast consumers at

574
00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:07.200
<v Speaker 4>the coast. It impacts any company that imports their exports

575
00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:14.440
<v Speaker 4>that's based in Cleveland, Ohio, Columbus and Sinnati, Chicago, Indianapolis, Louisville, Memphis,

576
00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:17.800
<v Speaker 4>Saint Louis, even Kansas City, all the way you know,

577
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:21.880
<v Speaker 4>down the line. So it really impacts all supply chains

578
00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:25.639
<v Speaker 4>in the eastern half of the US, not just what's

579
00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:28.039
<v Speaker 4>happening at the coast. And when you're looking at the

580
00:34:28.039 --> 00:34:31.679
<v Speaker 4>fact that it's a lot of fruit, a lot of vegetables, juice, meat,

581
00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:36.079
<v Speaker 4>a lot most of those things. You know, by sixty

582
00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:38.440
<v Speaker 4>to seventy five, almost eighty percent of a lot of

583
00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:41.159
<v Speaker 4>fresh food stuffs come in through these ports because we

584
00:34:41.239 --> 00:34:43.760
<v Speaker 4>source so much of that not from Asia, but from

585
00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:47.480
<v Speaker 4>South America and Central America, which primarily used the Gulf

586
00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:50.000
<v Speaker 4>Coast and East Coast ports as their gateways into the US.

587
00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:54.239
<v Speaker 4>So it is one day, not a big deal, but

588
00:34:54.440 --> 00:34:57.159
<v Speaker 4>you'll still feel the impact in terms of port operations

589
00:34:57.159 --> 00:34:59.719
<v Speaker 4>and slow downs for a week. It's a strike, were

590
00:34:59.719 --> 00:35:02.559
<v Speaker 4>to say, dragon a week, you're talking months of recovery

591
00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:07.079
<v Speaker 4>because of the backlogs that come into play and coming up,

592
00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:10.760
<v Speaker 4>you know, right ahead of Christmas shopping season, given that

593
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:14.840
<v Speaker 4>the US consumer has a habit of running, you know,

594
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:18.039
<v Speaker 4>runs on store inventory on the shelves whenever there's a

595
00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:21.639
<v Speaker 4>perceived shortage. When you're talking about we're coming into the season,

596
00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:24.599
<v Speaker 4>when the autumnmakers are playing, you know, I've already begun

597
00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:27.599
<v Speaker 4>and will aggressively continue ramping up roll out of the

598
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:30.599
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty five vehicles, a lot of these sectors that

599
00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:33.239
<v Speaker 4>touch our daily lives would be looking at short term

600
00:35:33.360 --> 00:35:37.639
<v Speaker 4>to intermediate term increase costs, and then the tail of that,

601
00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:40.880
<v Speaker 4>of course being everybody knowing people understand strikes, they don't

602
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:44.280
<v Speaker 4>understand mechanisms of supply chain being able to take advantage

603
00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:46.719
<v Speaker 4>of that to increase prices further as a way to

604
00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:50.079
<v Speaker 4>generate more profits, which historically has been the behavior of

605
00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:52.679
<v Speaker 4>all of the parties involved on the back end of

606
00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:54.559
<v Speaker 4>a striker a major supply chain disruption.

607
00:35:56.719 --> 00:36:00.639
<v Speaker 1>Ross, you are the man. We are all small now.

608
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much, my brother, as always that that

609
00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:05.079
<v Speaker 1>was extremely helpful.

610
00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:06.480
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, very welcome.

611
00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:12.599
<v Speaker 1>Julie all right, oh man, Well, my palms are sweaty.

612
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about you. My palms are sweaty. No,

613
00:36:14.599 --> 00:36:16.440
<v Speaker 1>we'll be fine. Look, we'll be fine in the end.

614
00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:18.960
<v Speaker 1>But that was we might be in for a rocky road.

615
00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:20.840
<v Speaker 1>I guess now we do. If the strike's a day,

616
00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:23.079
<v Speaker 1>things are going to be screwed up for a week.

617
00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:25.519
<v Speaker 1>If the strike's a week, things will be screwed up

618
00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:27.920
<v Speaker 1>for months. I didn't want to ask him if the

619
00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:31.280
<v Speaker 1>strike's a month long, because who knows. This has been
